A spokesman said: “There’s an M6 northbound J3-J3a lane closure is due to a collision involving a car and HGV. The car is currently in the outside lane facing the wrong way. We’ll be stopping traffic in due course to recover the car.”

This is a particularly busy stretch of motorway so having one of the four lanes closed has a knock on effect for all traffic.

Lane three of the motorway was closed as highway officers and police worked to try to clear the collision by around 08.30am.

It caused congestion back to junction 2 plus further congestion on the southbound motorway too.
